Re: Animal Collective Mysteriously Announce New Album?

I didn't like that line change my first listen. But after 3, I already forgot all the things I missed from the live versions.

My Girls has been my favorite of the new songs, so I'm sure that being your favorite is a good sign. Daily Routine has crept up to just behind My Girls as my favorite new song and is the one I'm most excited to hear the studio version of.

Re: Animal Collective Mysteriously Announce New Album?

the cover is nice enough... I pretty much always hate straight piano transcriptions of pop songs because it feels like I'm at Nordstroms (do you guys have that dept store down in CA?)... You could have at least screamed the "whooooo"s right?

Re: Animal Collective Mysteriously Announce New Album?

I have had "For Reverend Green" stuck in my head ALL day. No matter what I do, I can't get it out.

Re: Animal Collective Mysteriously Announce New Album?

long time no see. i'm back from a long ass summer and fall of work and trips. laying low in LA for a while. can't believe we are about 6 weeks from the initial announcement from Paul.

How have you been?

It's good to see you on the board again and I just realized that the lineup is a little over a month away from being announced it feels like I heard Paul utter the words "Jack Johnson" and "headliner" just yesterday. Same old shit on this end, just waiting for this fucking album to leak already... Earlier you stated you have heard the album already? Where?

My money is on in about two weeks or so. I highly doubt they can keep it under wraps that long. At the latest, as soon as they start pressing it, it'll leak out (that's probably 2-3 weeks before if they wait until the last minute)...

Re: Animal Collective Mysteriously Announce New Album?

Just about every album released in the last 3-4 years has leaked within two weeks prior to its official release, so I doubt it will even take that long for MPP. Obviously, many leak months prior, especially ones sitting on the shelf for so long, so I'm thinkin this will be leaked within AT LEAST a month or so from now.... but I don't want to get overly hopeful...

Has it already been sent out to the major music critics of the world? Regardless of that special listening party? Or was that listening party supposed to be where all the music critics heard it? Because when that time comes, when it gets sent out, I highly doubt it will stay under wraps for any longer.

Yeah. I remember looking at the line up poster for the first time going "WTF!!!" it was like an episode of the twilight zone. Jack mother fucking Johnson. lol.

And I heard some tracks from a friend at Press Here Publicity while I was in NY. I'm excited to see them live again soon and here this material
